When the Bitcoin network first started, only Satoshi was mining coins. He released the white paper, he talked about it publicly and encouraged people to try it, but it took a while for other nodes to join up and start mining. He could hold half the coins mined in the first 6 months. (If it were half the coins in the first 6 months, that would be 1.3 million coins, currently worth $129 billion). That is a potentially destabilizing amount of money.
I think it's likely that the keys for those wallets have been lost.
I think that's entirely possible. But I think it's also quite likely that those wallets are intentionally being left alone. I think there are legitimate fears that revealing the identity of Satoshi would destabilize the Bitcoin economy (as well as make that person a serious target). Personally, if I were Satoshi, I would try to keep my identity secret.
Also, if you were to ask me, i'd say that this guy isn't Satoshi because in all likelihood, Satoshi is Nick Szabo.
Nice, I remember encountering a sales pitch for an earlier version of this sort of device:
Elon has too much mass, couldn't do it on NASA's budget.
We'll see what happens I guess.
Since when was sms ever secure? My understanding is that messages are sent in the clear, meaning your carrier and the recipient's carrier both have the opportunity to intercept messages.
I mean that's the message content, not the authentication, but still, sms is the opposite of secure, always has been.
Talk about burying the lead. The headline should read "man has two Colons!"
And as soon as I saw your comment I realized I had the title wrong, it's "Fallen Dragon".
It's worth playing, I've been playing the hell out of this game for the last month.
If you want it in a more convenient way, it's probably $3 on steam now (at least it was during the autumn sale).
Edit: at time of writing it's $4.79 on steam, still a steal.
